    The best way to help with the stress at the ramp is pick a weekday and time there is little activity at the ramp. Take your time, launch, move away from the dock, come back in to dock the boat, then off the dock and load, several times. A windy day is even better practice because if you boat enough, you will be caught on windy days. I have been boating for 25+ years, some of the best practice I got over the years was with a 21' carolina skiff loading in a cross-wind. But a couple years ago I took my new bay boat out to run break-in hours. Nice calm day, UNTIL I was 20 miles from the ramp and started heading back. When I got back to the ramp, I was dealing with a strong tide and a 20+ mph cross-wind. Those years of experience loading in strong winds paid off that day. I just picked up my new 24' bay boat last week, have not taken it out for break-in yet. But even though I have owned boats for many years, my first trip out will be mid-week launching and loading a few times just to get the feel of this particular boat. Knock on wood! So far, I have not needed it but about 15 years ago when I went from lake fishing to saltwater fishing, I got SEATOW. Towboat or Seatow is some of the best money you will spend if you ever have problems on the water. Cool thing is, I live on the NC coast but take my boat to the FL Keys every Spring and up to Smith Mtn Lake VA striper fishing a few times a year, Seatow is everywhere I go fishing. Even with boats having a VHF radio, a waterproof handheld is good to have in case you have to bail out of the boat. A rescue beacon! I use a ACR ResQlink. There would be so many boaters, hikers, skiers and others still alive today if they had that $400 piece of equipment. Just a few weeks ago, some guys running 40 miles offshore in the Gulf boat sank. The ACR put the Coast Guard helicopter on them floating in the ocean.

    I've had a boat since 1970, all great tips! But one essential item you didn't mention and that's a five gallon bucket for many reasons but mainly a dewatering device if you lost power and as a sea anchor. If you have lost all power and stuck in rough condition tie a line on the bucket handle secured to the bow cleat. It's best to have at least 50' of line for this use, it will keep the bow into the wind preventing seas from swamping the transom. It's not a "boat pole" it's a "boat hook". And remember there is no rope on a vessel it's "line". Best Regards, Jay

    so... if you are going from shallow to deep, keep green on the right, and if you are going from deep to shallow green is on the left? Is this correct? Thanks for the video :)

    • @rickeyholtsclaw7764

      Basically, if you're leaving a large body of water and headed to a shallow harbor you'll keep red on the right. It is wise to study how the markers are laid out in your area and the points that are designated for north to south such as in the Keys...there are excellent videos on this subject...I would view them as well. I live on Pine Island in SW Florida and the ICW here is fairly well marked..."red and green pass between"...I was surprised to see how quickly the channel changes from deep to shallow when you move outside those markers...If I'm in an unfamiliar area...I cautiously SLOW DOWN, look for a differentiation in water colors and watch my transducer's echo...there are techniques that assist you in shallow water when you feel yourself about to run-a-ground...stay calm...don't panic...don't destroy your prop or the basin...there is a plethora of good information on markers and navigation, you would be wise to absorb as much as possible and then put that information to use. Don't be shy about seeking advice and wisdom from the locals.

    All good stuff. I would encourage any new boaters to spend a day with an experienced boater before they go solo. Have a process for launching & loading and remember that you are responsible for your & your guests safety. I'm on year 3 of having a boat and still feel like a newbie some days but I no longer get in a rush to launch or load. Be efficient & don't waste time launching & loading but don't rush and potentially damage your boat or hurt someone.

    That transmits every trailer vibration straight to the transom. Support engine to the boat, not trailer.

    • @rickeyholtsclaw7764
      @rickeyholtsclaw7764 Месяц назад

      If the boat and trailer are "one" with tie-downs in place, the transfer is minimal and the trim motor is secure. Supporting the engine to the vessel is not a valid option, irrelevant. ruclips.net/video/3w-6roMNznI/видео.html

    buy a $5 strap and tie your motor to the boat, it wont bounce around , very easy

    I couldn’t tell the difference on my harness and I still had the code, I’m going to pull it out and look at it. Thanks for the video.

    Could t you of just soldered the chewed wires man would of been allot faster and easier I’d think.

    • @rickeyholtsclaw7764
      @rickeyholtsclaw7764 4 месяца назад

      The chewed wires were under the intake manifold. It requires an hour or two to access…why not replace with a new harness as opposed to trying to locate every wire compromised and patch? $30.00 bucks for a correct and proper fix is better than a sloppy patch work that may or may not correct the problem. IMHO

    Well done, and I thought it was the gas cap. Strong work.
